Seems like it might be an improvement to me, as many real world self defence laws are of similar wording I believe
Forgive me for making yet another policy thread but
How am I supposed to figure out, as a player, what the intent of the other player is, and what the admin online thinks the intent of the other player is, and what the other player and what the admin (of which we have ~40, and new ones weekly) consider "reasonable equivalent" all within half a second of being attacked by another player?
Is it reasonable equivalent or intent to kill a player when they trash my workplace?
To kill a player when they push me down and space my backpack unprovoked?
When they chase me into maint and hit me with a circular saw?
If an assistant randomly starts punching me and I beat them to death am I in trouble now?
Can a player acting in good faith possibly know their options in responding to these situations and ten thousand more all in real time if you add a vague clause like that to the rules?
